It really depends on what you want to do, most good MBA programs are quite expensive if you do not have a scholarship, so i would only recommend you do an MBA only if you're absolutely sure you want to do it and know why you're doing it. The main distinction between an MBA and an MA in other business concentrations, is the fact that you graduate as a cross trained business person and have a solid background in various business fields, as opposed to being a specialist in Finance, HR, Marketing or any of those other Business fields.
If you aspire to working in some sort of managerial position, or do management consulting or that sort of career, an MBA would definitely be very beneficial.

Thanks Fred. That gives me enough info not to pursue it.

Btw, i hate to sound like a career counselor or something, but you look like a person who might like a career in Academia, perhaps that is something you ought to think of pursuing?
Not sure if thats a good or bad thing

Academia, you say? Gimme more info.
It's a good thing. I want very interested in it, and was curious why so many people do it.

(which mind you isn't so far off from the formal job that i do)I mean if you're sure that you are interested enough in theology/philosophy to pursue them as long time interests, you should really think about doing a masters in that field, and try and get a scholarship to do a Phd in that field. If you're interested enough, i'm sure you'd enjoy researching and teaching the subject as a full time job.
Plus a career in academia offers more job security, less working hours, more personal and professional fulfillment(though that depends on the person's personality and what he considers personally and profesionally fulfilling), you'd also avoid the more dynamic, cut throat, high stress, long working hours of corporate life.

BUT, if you're good at what you do, and persistent, then your chances are naturally higher. You just need to publish, publish, publish
The only caveat I would offer is that the job market bad, and getting worse. You are only unfireable, as IZ says, if you get tenure, and unfortunately in the humanities these days tenure-track positions are becoming more difficult to come by. The majority of the folks I work with are on limited-term contracts (some of as low as 10 months, where they are never guaranteed their job at the end), and that seems to be the growing trend in North America.
